Jadon Sancho is set to return to Manchester United after Chelsea failed to agree personal terms on a permanent deal, a source has told ESPN. The situation has been a source of speculation in the Premier League, with both clubs involved in discussions over the player’s future. The failure to reach an agreement on personal terms means that the transfer will not proceed as originally planned.
The news comes after several months of negotiations between the two clubs, with Sancho’s representatives seeking a deal that would satisfy both the player’s aspirations and the club’s financial interests. Chelsea had expressed interest in completing the transfer, but the sticking point remained the personal terms, which included factors such as salary, contract length, and potential performance bonuses. The lack of agreement has led to the decision to send the player back to his former club.
Sancho, who joined Chelsea in 2022, was expected to play a significant role in the squad this season. His return to Manchester United is a setback for Chelsea, who had hoped to solidify their squad with the addition of a key player. However, the club may now focus on other transfer targets to strengthen their position in the Premier League.
